Why Should I Care About My Health


Now a days we tend to get so busy with life that sometime we forget to take care of our health. The days go by and then one day we notice that something is not right.  It could be a headache, it could be feeling fatigue, it could be an ache or pain.  Our bodies talk to us and we really need to listen....So you say, Why should I take care of my health?

 Well...

 From my studies over the years I have come to realize that most sickness and disease can be traced back to a nutrient deficiency.   That's why I focus on what I am putting into my body.  Most of the foods readily available these days are lacking nutrition and now the concern of GMO foods, which are not good for us.

 Why should I take care of my health?  

 Well...
You can start taking care of your health by doing these few things below.  If you are feeling really bad I would recommend that you do some sort of a detox to cleanse the bad stuff out of your body.

 1. Drink lots of fresh clean water...filter if you have to and most of us should.

2. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day.  Organic is best.  I've heard so many people say, "Well, it's so expensive."  Yes it is, but if you take the time to look you can actually find a better on the organic than on the regular stuff.  I do it all the time. The way I see it is that you are going to pay for your health one way or another.  I choose to pay now so that I don't have to pay later.



Why should I take care of my health?
Where do you want your money to go?
To eating healthy or to doctors bills down the road.

3. Get sufficient amounts of fiber.  Most people today are not getting enough fiber in their diets.  You will get it by eating your fruits and vegetables.  Beans are very high in fiber and a good source of protein as well.



4. Are you getting enough sunshine.  Nothing can replace the real thing and we all need it.  It's good for our bones and also triggers Serotonin in our brains which trigger Melatonin.  Serotonin triggers the happy feeling during the daytime and melatonin will help you with your sleep.  Have you ever noticed when you've been out in the sun that you sleep really good that night. 






5. Are you getting enough exercise?  We all need it.  Even if you are just walking, at least you are doing something.  To rest is to rust...
6. Are you getting sufficient rest at night?  Listen to your body.  It will tell you how much it needs.  It's best to be sleeping between 10 pm to 2 pm.  That's when your healing hormones are really working.






7. Are you taking a good multi-vitamin?  You want to take a whole food supplement with lots of nutrition.  I do not trust the RDA levels.  If everyone lived by that standard they'd all be sick.  You need way more than the RDA levels.  Just make sure not too much iron, A and E.  These build up in the bodies and can be toxic.  Vitamin C and B's are water soluble and if you have too much they'll just run right through you.





So you say....Why should I care about my health?  Well if you don't take care of it now,
then you will be paying for it later.

"Have you worked out lately?"

Hello and I hope you are all doing well. I hope that this post finds you well and ready for "Thanksgiving" this week. Well, with that being said, you know what they all say about this time of year. How much weight are we supposed to gain this time of year? Is is ten pounds? Well, whatever. Now is a good time of year to get into that exercise program that you know you need to do but don't have the time. Well, I am here to tell you that you do have the time. You just need to make the time for it. Ok, here's the deal. Many years ago I was very disciplined and worked out at a gym and to videos 5 to 7 days a week after I had my son. I had those abs everyone dreamed about and I looked good. Now many years later after having my daughter I'm going to get back into the program. I don't have a lot of time nor at this time do I want to pay for a gym membership. So here's what I do. That video tape I worked out to years ago. Well, I still have it.

"An Apple a day keeps the doctor away".

So what's that all about? An apple a day keeps the doctor away?...An old wives tale claiming that an apple a day will keep the doctor away? Well, there is a lot of truth to that. An apple is full of nutrients and enzymes that are so important for good health. As well as 4 grams of fiber and we all need more of that in our diets...don't we. I remember one time I felt like I was starting to come down with a cold, so I started eating apples every day...Well, guess what? That cold could not really get a hold of me and passed in about 3 days. Right now the people at work are sick and have a nasty cold. I'm like...I don't want that cold....so here I am eating apples every day. I buy organic...so say that's $30 a month for apples for one person. That's a pretty cheap insurance policy. Ok, lets get technical...for my whole family to have an apple a day....with many health benefits...say for $90 a month compared to $350...That's a good investment. Remember
